It was a red flag for sure IMO. What it highlighted was our lack of recovery pace, in the back line, that needs to be addressed. Their striker isn't exactly Usain Bolt, but I didn't see any ground gained chasing him down, let alone pressure on the strike.

I thought of him, but did he flop? He was said to have, but then Chavs played him for another year. He also had that fucking idiotic 'I'm staying on' moment which was the death of him, but other than that, I don't recall.
You're quite right...... All that extra running he'll have to do in the prem is quite the concern.
Fair.
I'm not sure the vast majority of our signings have been flops - a lot have, and quite a few haven't been.
For me, the biggest issue is that our more expensive signings tend to be. Soldado, Ndombele, Lo Celsco.
As per the list of most expensive EPL trfs that were posted here recently... A large % of them proved to be bum deals.
He was circa 70m quid and has been one of the worst keepers in the league since joining. Only reason he played is because Mendy fell off a cliff and pretty much every Chelsea fan is desperate for them to replace him.
And his debut season was shockingly woeful.
The triple save was ridiculous.
The term flop is also completely loaded.
I personally wouldn't list Sissoko as a flop, but might, in relation to his potential and subsequent output, call Lamela one.
De Gea struggled a lot with the physicality of set-pieces in particular in England and was on the bench for a season & a half for Anders Lindegaard because SAF wanted him to bulk up and get used to commanding his area more in England.
But then I know nothing about him. He might be incredibly commanding already like Alisson and its irrelevant that he's coming from Serie A.
Chavs fans think he's dreadful.
I think we will regret not getting Scott same way
Sissoko was a massive flop - £30mill at the time was serious money and he was garbage for 85% of his time with us. Lamela probably was as well. I say probably as I think injury ruined his time with us.
I was thinking more about the increased amount of crosses into the box he’ll have to deal with & the physical side of the game.
Can anyone tell me why the fuck Vicario is getting so much hate before he's played a single game that actually matters?
He's still there, though, surprisingly. Fifa stats show a massive downturn overall, but their fans are still talking him up.
Now I remember, he had some howlers from long distance shots in a few back-to-back games.
Hard to say if that's due to the PL 'quality', though.
If you're referring to my post above, that's irony. I don't think he's catching any flack.
..or balls.

Great! Here's a video of the italian, Massimo Taibi making saves too

Harry was doing freekick practice and accidentally shot it down, the cruel irony.
